CLEVELAND, Ohio – LeBron James sometimes takes himself out of games for a breather, or strides to the scorer's table to go back in without a summons from his coach.
But what James pulled in the third quarter of the Cavaliers' impressive win over the Hawks Saturday was, um, different. Everyone can laugh about it now, because it played no role in the outcome.
Cleveland was ahead by 26 with 6:11 to go in the period when James grabbed position in the post against Atlanta's Thabo Sefolosha. Jared Cunningham was handling the ball for the Cavs and missed James on a pass, throwing it out of bounds.
